I was expecting something harder given that you called it "a nice exercise", so I pretty much assumed that mine was not the right solution...
Okay. In the original formulation of the paradox, the task is to cut a ball into pieces, and assemble two balls from the pieces. If I am not mistaken, you have solved a slightly easier task: cut a ball into pieces, and covered two balls with the pieces (with overlaps). A part of the "nice exercise" is to bridge this gap.
